Today, Sunday, November 10, 1974 – corresponding to the 10th of Kartika, Chaitanya Era 488, the eleventh day of the dark fortnight, the Rama-ekadashi – we have now finished the English translation of Sri Krishnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami’s Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita in accordance with the authorized order of His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Gosvami Maharaja, my beloved eternal spiritual master, guide and friend.
The work on this translation began about eighteen months ago. Now, by the grace of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, it is finished. In this connection I have to thank my American disciples, especially Sriman Pradyumna dasa Adhikari, Sriman Nitai dasa Adhikari, Sriman Jayadvaita dasa Brahmacari and many other boys and girls who are sincerely helping me in writing, editing and publishing all these literatures.
